My Arms Can Turn into Blades
Chapter 417 - 241: The Celestial Master Is Actually by My Side!? (Part 2)
I don’t know why, but even though Ji Xin and Shan Li seem to have a good relationship, it always gives me the feeling that they often pit each other.
... Perhaps it’s just an illusion.
Chen Lusi shook his head, not continuing to ponder, but instead looked at Wu You and curiously asked, "Why are you still here?"
"Why are we still here?"
Wu You repeated the words and then helplessly said, "Where else can we be? We’ve been idle these days, and since you’re not around, we didn’t know what to do, so we planned to come to the branch to take a look.
Then we happened to run into you at the door, and I was planning to ask you where you’re going, but I didn’t expect you to be called away as soon as you arrived..."
"Got it."
Chen Lusi nodded, then asked, "So what do you plan to do next?"
"I don’t know, what are you planning to do?"
"Meet some Daoists."
"Oh? Then we’ll join you, anyway we’re just idle, and it would be great to witness the legendary Celestial Master’s grandeur."
Wu You heard Chen Lusi’s words and glanced at the sleepy white cat, his eyes lit up.
To be honest.
He’s really quite curious about how the Daoists would deal with the scenery at Chen Lusi’s feet.
Moreover, he’s also quite interested in that Celestial Master Zhang.
Because he’s from Gan Province... and his hometown isn’t far from the renowned Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Although in recent decades, with the trend of commercialization, many religious mountains have lost their mystique and are instead filled with the stink of money.
But if we go back in time, back then, religious mountains were still famous and mysterious, especially in the eyes of the older generation.
And Wu You’s age is just right, one could say he grew up hearing these legends.
Even after becoming an Empowerer, he knows the Daoist lineage has long been broken, and whether the Celestial Master is actually no different from a regular Empowerer.
But the impression left from childhood is too profound.
In the words of the elderly back home, Celestial Master Zhang had basically become a living immortal.
So.
Even at this moment, although knowing many things.
He still finds Daoism quite mysterious, especially the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the representation of the Daoist School’s orthodoxy.
"Alright."
Chen Lusi didn’t object to Wu You’s suggestion.
Although the matter of the talisman should not be spread.
He, Wu You, and Xia Panqiu can be said to have a bond forged through life-and-death experiences... they’ve gone through so much together.
Chen Lusi had seen it all, knowing that these two could not possibly be spies from the Self, nor the type of people who couldn’t keep things to themselves, so there was no need to particularly hide from them.
"Let’s go then."
Wu You, hearing Chen Lusi’s words, immediately became excited.
Xia Panqiu thoughtfully glanced at Chen Lusi, always feeling that there was some misunderstanding and something was off, but couldn’t figure out what it was at the moment, so just followed along.
The three of them walked together towards the conference room.
Shan Li saw them off, then thought for a moment, deciding not to follow but instead turned to go upstairs to find Ji Xin.
...
"What’s that Celestial Master Zhang like?"
They were still some distance from the conference room.
Wu You couldn’t help but look at Chen Lusi, asking with an expectant tone, "Is he like an exiled immortal?"
It must be said.
If childhood memories are deep enough, they can really be remembered for a lifetime.
Right now, Wu You’s mind is full of legends the elders told him back then.
Which even makes him, someone who usually seems indifferent to everything, with a joking attitude, take this seriously.
"Uh..."
Chen Lusi thought about the first meeting with Celestial Master Zhang, who suddenly knelt down, scaring him: "... He might be?"
His tone wasn’t very certain.
But Wu You didn’t seem to catch the uncertainty in Chen Lusi’s words, only hearing the ’might be’, his eyes lit up again: "Ha, I knew it! Even if the lineage is broken, the Celestial Master’s grandeur remains!"
Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi, then at the rarely serious Wu You, and was even more puzzled, just about to speak.
They reached their destination.
Chen Lusi directly opened the door to the conference room.
Inside, the four Daoists were already waiting.
The moment the door was pushed open. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The four of them almost simultaneously stood up, looking at Chen Lusi.
And Wu You finally saw the four Daoists.
... Truly, they had the demeanor of immortals.
That was his first impression.
And almost immediately, he knew who was the Celestial Master Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Because Zhang Xiufeng stood right in front, holding a Buddhist dust, dressed in a magnificent Daoist robe, looking quite otherworldly, obviously not a commoner, easily recognizable.
"You must be Zhang..."
Wu You, upon seeing Zhang Xiufeng, immediately had shining eyes and approached him to greet.
But before he could finish speaking.
Zhang Xiufeng made his move, first nodding towards Wu You, then directly bypassing him and grabbing Chen Lusi’s hand, stuffing a pen into it: "Chen Lusi! At last, you’re here! Come, come, come! Let’s continue drawing! I thought of a few commonly used and useful talismans last night, please draw them."
"Me too."
Chen Qing followed closely, also nodded towards Wu You and stuffed another pen into Chen Lusi’s hand.
On the table, talisman paper and other things were already prepared.
"???"
Wu You maintained his extended hand gesture.
"Just a moment, this is Wu You."
Chen Lusi thought about it, looked at Wu You, wanting to introduce him.
"Hello hello hello hello."
The four Daoists looked at Wu You and then, keeping their immortal demeanor, greeted him warmly... though their tone was a bit rushed, and the attitude somewhat perfunctory.
